What Is A Barrel Nipple

A barrel nipple is a short length of pipe with male threads on both ends, used primarily to connect two female-threaded pipe fittings or components. Unlike regular nipples, barrel nipples are typically longer and straight, resembling a small barrel, which allows for easier alignment and connection between parts in plumbing, gas, water, and air systems. They serve as a simple but essential component in piping systems to extend or join sections of pipe without the need for welding or complex fittings.

Barrel nipples are made from various materials, including galvanized steel, stainless steel, brass, and black iron, depending on the application and environmental conditions. The galvanized version is coated with a zinc layer that provides corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor or moist environments. Their standard threading—usually NPT (National Pipe Thread)—ensures compatibility with a wide range of pipes and fittings.

Common applications of barrel nipples include water supply lines, gas piping, compressed air systems, and irrigation setups. They are valued for their durability, ease of installation, and ability to create leak-proof connections. Barrel nipples come in various lengths and diameters, allowing flexibility in pipe system design.
